The domestic diva headed to cout Monday hoping some of the
charges against her would be dismissed. Specifically, the most serious
charge facing her...Securities Fraud.
Prosecutors argue that when Stewart publicly declared her
innocence...she deceived investors of her company, Martha Stewart Living

NAT SOT BREAK (Early Show: I am confident I will be cleared off all

But Defense attorneys say that arguement doesn't cut it and that's what
they told the judge this morning.
They say Stewart was just trying to clear her name and even the judge
hearing the case called the Fraud count "novel" and the "most
problematic" of the charges. But today, that same judge declined to
make a ruling.
Alfonsi Bridge: Meanwhile, Stewarts attorneys are apparently planning
a bold move of their own.
Prosecutors put on more than 21 witnesses over two weeks...Defense
are hoping less is more.
They say they hope to call only a handfull of witnesses and that
Martha Stewart will likely not be among them.
The risk may be too high. It's unclear how the sometimes quick
tempered Stewart would hold up under what could be a blistering cross
examination.
Defense attorney seem to think the recipe for keeping Stewart out of
jail may be keeping her off the stand and keeping her silent.

Portis rushed for more than 15-hundred yards last season, and was invited to his first Pro Bowl.
